Stand up bags are formed by laminating together several to many layers of specialized film to create a strong, convenient and puncture resistant barrier ideal for packaging cookies. The bags protect contents from vapor, odor, pests and moisture, all of which are doom to the shelf life of cookies.
This packaging goes by other names: Stand up pouches, Mylar® bags and custom printed stand bags among them. No matter the name, they stand out from the competition because they stand up on the shelf. With available round or sombrero-style holes, the bags can also be hung on display.
Wide front and back panels offer you several branding choices. First, you can affix your own labels. You can also custom print your information in up to 10 colors instead. You can even combine the two. And you can add a 'transparent' window for those cookies you sell that look almost as good as they taste.
Available tear notches make opening the bag child's play (meaning that cookies aren't strewn all over the kitchen by being too forceful when opening!). Zip seal closures are also available, allowing for a convenient way to lock in freshness and extend the shelf life of your cookies, something sure to appeal to households carefully watching their dollars in tough economic times.
You can expect to increase your sales with the environmentally conscious consumer as well. The construction materials of a stand up bag are recyclable. Should your packaging make it to a landfill, however, it will take up very little room, compressing to a size no larger than an empty shipping envelope.
As cookie packaging, stand up bags are clearly a sweet choice that will appeal to your consumers, building sales that you are certain to find very tasty.
